Today, instead of the peace and justice promised by the Dream, we have received violence and unjustly detained young people, - with this statement the party Gakharia for Georgia responded to the verdict handed down today against Mate Devidze, who was detained during the protests.

As stated in the statement released by the party, due to injustice, inequality, hopelessness and violence, young people are leaving the country.

“Today, the Murusidze court sentenced 21-year-old Mate Devidze to 4 years in prison.

Meanwhile, not a single masked thug who brutally beat up young people and journalists on live TV has been punished; young people are leaving the country because of injustice, inequality, hopelessness and violence.

Today, instead of the peace and justice promised by the Dream, we have received violence and unjustly detained young people.

All political prisoners will definitely be released and all perpetrators will definitely be punished. No one will be able to hide from personal responsibility for these grave crimes!

Freedom to Mate Devidze! Solidarity and endurance to his family,” reads the party statement.
